The main reason we bought the Miglia TVMax+ instead of EyeTV is because it records in MPG-4 format. We have a MacMini with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse hooked up to our plasma and with the TVMax+ we can record all our favorite tv shows and instantly watch them using Apple Front Row (software that comes with the MacMini). With EyeTV we'd have to convert the video files from MPEG-2 to MPG-4 which can take hours for each program.
So far we're very happy with the TVMax+.
